Why am I not getting date in the results when I specified date in the options for the second dataset

options nonumber nodate;
proc print data=dam.weightclub;
 where startweight>=180; 
run;
options date;
proc freq data=dam.test_scores;
 where score1>=70;
 tables ID;

Hello,

options date; has nothing to do with your result.

Your program might not have any result or you may be missing the output destination listed.

Check your log: Does your log tell no records. Anything like this?

NOTE: No observations were selected from data set SASHELP.CLASS.
NOTE: There were 0 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CLASS.

If using SAS EG then go to tools>options>results> select one (html or sas report or ....)

I do see that they are not printed, however works if selected other destinations like PDF, Listing. Not exactly sure why.

The document say: specifies that the date and the time that the SAS program started are printed at the top of each page of the SAS log and any output that is created by SAS.

You may have to try other option like titles.

Title " Today's data: %sysfunc(today(),date9.) and Time: %sysfunc(time(),time.) ";
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

You had suppressed page numbers and dates for the first output; since no new page has to be started for the second output, nothing is printed.

I'm not getting anything even when I don't suppress in the first dataset

HTML does not have a concept of pages in terms of number, they scroll and scale, so it's not shown.

Create a different output type to see this functionality.

options nonumber nodate;

ods pdf file='/folders/myfolders/demo_date_number.pdf' style=seaside;

proc print data=dam.weightclub;
 where startweight>=180; 
run;

ods pdf close;

options date;

ods pdf file='/folders/myfolders/demo_NoDate.pdf' style=seaside;

proc freq data=dam.test_scores;
 where score1>=70;
 tables ID;
run; 

ods pdf close;

Or we can just simply choose produce pdf output in the results tab of preferences:)

Yes but then you can't control the file name or style.
